A table is an arrangement of columns and rows that organizes and positions data or images. Tables can be created on Wikipedia pages using special wikitext syntax, and many different styles and tricks can be used to customise them.
The easiest way to insert a new table is to use the editing toolbar that appears when you edit a page (see image above).

The scrolling and sticky headers work in cell phones, too. Widest scrolling tables are on top of the list below.
It is easy to use now. It is a template to automatically add row numbers to sortable tables. The row numbers will not be sorted when columns of data are sorted. A possible note to add above a table: Row numbers are static. Other columns are sortable. This allows ranking of any column. See list of articles transcluding {{static row numbers}}.
